In our sessions, we focus on gross-motor moves, like palm strikes, elbow strikes, and escaping wrist grabs, that you can pull off even in formal wear or sarees. It is about simple, high-impact muscle memory that holds up when adrenaline hits. ### Why Our Approach Works Many self-defense programs overwhelm students with complex forms. At Bangalore Budokan, we strip it back. You will practice drills specifically designed for real-world scenarios, such as dupatta strangulation, wall pins, ground pins, and chain-snatching attempts. We believe that if you cannot perform a move while stressed or wearing daily clothing, it is not a useful technique. ### What You Will Experience Our training environment is safe and supportive. We intentionally keep our intensive crash course batches small, with 10 to 20 participants, so you get direct corrections from me and my senior instructors. You will train barefoot on mats to simulate stability and grounding, and we use kicking shields to help you understand the force required to disable an attacker. ### Our Training Modules * **Theory:** We spend 30 minutes understanding the physiology of the fight or flight response and practicing situational awareness. * **Practical Defense:** We cover releases from common grabs and chokes, adapted for everyday reality. * **Striking:** We teach targeting vulnerable points like the eyes, throat, and groin using palm heels rather than knuckles, which reduces the risk of injuring your own hand. Whether you are joining us for our dedicated women's workshops in March or booking a private session for your community at your clubhouse, the goal remains the same: you should leave feeling more alert, more confident, and less like a target. ## About Derick Kishan I am Derick Kishan, and I founded Bangalore Budokan to show that Karate is for everyone. When I see our students walking home with their heads held high after a training session, that is my biggest win. Come train with us; we are more like a family than a classroom.
